An example of one of David’s conference talks (35 minutes):

MANAGERS, MARSHALLING-YARDS & MAJOR GENERALS

The classic pyramid structures of corporates have often been questioned as unproductive – but they have proved remarkably tenacious. The world’s big companies are so dominant that it’s easy to forget that they didn’t exist little more than a century ago. When the family businesses on Main Street and the small miners and manufacturers grew too big for personal control, they drew inspiration for their new structure on the only two models available at the time: the military and the railways. The advantages were control, teamwork and efficiency; the drawbacks were all too easily the crushing of initiative and creativity and the alienation of the individual.

David Williams brings a wealth of anecdote and hard fact to provoke executives to think differently about the way they run their businesses, and how to change the structures to unlock value.
